Trouble at Smyrna High

The High School finds itself at the center of a storm after accusations of some questionable deeds by one of it's faculty.

A teacher and coach at Smyrna High School has been suspended without pay while the school district and the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office investigate accusations that he kissed two female students on the cheek.

Charles Hardee, a history teacher and boys soccer coach for two years in Smyrna, was suspended Friday afternoon, the school system said in a news release. Hardee has denied kissing either of the girls, the release said.

The details are few, and with the investigation as it is, no one is talking.


This Thursdays meeting of the Rutherford County School Board at 5pm will be rather interesting.
